I had not heard of this happening before , is the cargo not normally better secured
As was already mentioned if it was one ULD it could not probably move CG that much even though it had traveled whole hold. Maximum weight of LD3 is under 1600 kg but it is mostly up to 1 ton, rarely about 1200 kg. I just checked with a manual and moving one ton from CPT2 to CPT 1 is MAC change by aprox. 0,3% on A350-1000. Don't have -900.

However this can happen. We had problems with A330/A340 where the locks could unlock themselves very easily. You could just slap the lock and just fall. It was said the be fixed when A350s come. Well, there are A350 now but we still have to load them as before because of this problem. Other company with A350 has no problem with that.
